Don't a camel feel pricked when eating cactus?

Camels can only replenish water from the cactus plant in the desert, so camels are adapted to eating cactus. They can eat cactus because the skin in their mouth is very thick and will not be stabbed, and gastric juice can digest cactus thorns; if a camel can eat fish bones, it will not get stuck in the throat. The camel's stomach juice can digest cactus thorns, so it can easily eat cactus. It is such a demon-like mouth that makes it even the tough and prickly desert plant .

There is also a "bag" hidden in the camel's thorns. Of course, only male camels have this. When the next generation needs to be reproduced, the male camel will spit out the flesh sacs slightly and show off to the female camel. The camel's first stomach is very tough and secretes a lot of mucus and gastric acid .

After the cactus enters this stomach, under the action of gastric acid, it quickly becomes soft and forms eggs that are easy to chew. When the camel is free to rest, these balls will immediately return to the mouth and chew it again. Under the grinding of teeth, the food is completely crushed and sent to the third stomach. That is, the stomach that is specifically used to digest food, and the entire process of camels eating cactus is truly completed.

02

What else do camels eat besides eating cactus?

Camels can make a living from the roughest parts of the rare vegetation and can eat prickly plants, shrub branches and hay that other animals do not eat, but they are happy to eat if there is a better food. Because it often travels far away, the hay is digested slowly. Camels like to eat thorny, hairy, strong smell and saline-heavy plants that other domestic animals do not want to eat. White thorns and artemisia sarcophagus are the delicacies of camels.
